    Hello, i just bought an z9x but i discovered that i can't write on external disks, i want use my tvbox as nas, with various app (ftp server), but if i can't operate on my disks it is useless.

    I read that there is a limitation about this operation, so someone advice to root the tvbox.
    any solution?

    EDIT: my zidoo z9x is upgraded to version G, with gapp installed.

    Not sure what your tvbox is but Zidoo does allow you to write to attached USB drives (copy/delete/rename etc) from a network PC, if you switch on Samba support in Settings.

    Yes It can COPY a file from zidoo ti PC, delete a file, (i should try ti rename), BUT add a new file/folder from PC to TV box Is impossible. So i can't manage my files or add new films remotely.

    On your PC and in "My Computer" can you see your Zidoo HDD?
    Like this image on mine.

    Yes, i have access to my zidoo in this way
    I also have a server ftp app to access my hdds on the zidoo. But in any way is impossible to add new file or move in internally

    Why not just have a simple SMB or even the very old now NFS network share rather than FTP ? I have to admit I've never had any success with FTP on anything I've tried, so maybe it's a user name/password issue? Maybe others can help. I haven't had any problems with transferring files from anywhere to my 2 internal hdd's in the Zidoo or the reverse.

    no, there is no solution, it works only with internal SAMBA Server.

    This is very, very disappointing. So there is no solution other to use a PC/MAC to write files on the HDD attached to the Zidoo.
